Tell me, why would you believe such a stupid conspiracy theory created by a right wing nut job? She married her brother to get him a green card? Please do tell me why she would do such a thing since if he WAS her brother, being her brother already qualifies him to apply for his own green card WITHOUT having to marry her. This is EXACTLY the reason many people, not just those on the left, consider the propaganda pushers from the right as ignorant, they don't stop to question the propaganda and conspiracy theories, consider whether or not they are true before they start promoting them themselves. Don't believe me that IF he WERE her brother, he already qualifies to apply for his OWN green card WITHOUT marrying his sister? Look for yourselves and enjoy your shame,

If I were you, I would stop and consider the source, whether the story sounds fishy, what facts are offered to back the claim, In this case, the "brother" (Ahmed Nur Said Elmi) that she married, she wasn't even related to him brother or otherwise.
Interesting how many conspiracy theories the right has when the left, I have looked and looked, they have no left wing specific conspiracy theories that I can find, begs the question why there should be so many right wing conspiracy theories but none for the left, perhaps "righties" are more prone to believing in conspiracy theories and so pointless for any "lefty" conspiracy theories to be created.

I did some background research and this is what I found. Two news sources disproved the story, Three had proof and two were suspicious of Omar because she didn't respond for quite some time. There are twice as many for as against. I wasn't surprised that NO MSM outlet even mentioned the story, rumor, whatever you want to call it. She is their rock star right now.
This one thing is proven though; there is mo divorce on record for the UK man she legally married. She said they divorced per their faith. That might be OK with Alla, but not for the American legal system. In effect, she is legally married to one man and living with another. Whether or not he is her brother, that's pretty far out there. I mean look at all the hoopla raised about Trump having sex with a slut 10 years ago while this senator is married to one man while living with and having children with another man. No big deal for Hollywooders or maybe some others, but it's a pretty big deal for the US Congress. PLUS, she is a racist. Now, that's all we heard there for a while about Trump, but her racism is no rumor. AND she refuses to apologize for it. Look at all the people who have went down the tubes over racism since Trumps election, yet she suffers nothing for it.
I will give you this; it's possible and "maybe" likely that the man she is living with is NOT her husband, but enough people are convinced of it that I have to say I'm divided about it.
One source said there was no marriage certificate for her and the UK man, but another source says there is. She says that she and the UK man got a license but never used it. The she says she IS married but is working on a divorce. How many versions of the facts are we going to find here?
I'll say this, if she IS married, she should get a legal divorce and then marry the man she is living with to be respectable in the eyes of the nation.
While she may NOT be married to her brother, there is certainly enough reasonable doubt amid all the versions she herself has given, that I am comfortable in repeating the story. Prove me wrong and I'll retract my statements and apologize to you.
After I posted this, I saw that she indeed WAS married legally and has divorced and married the man she is living with. Neither was her brother, which I said was possible and maybe likely, but the rest of my statements were true it seems. I said I was divided on the brother thing, and the sources I used were wrong, making me wrong and I retract that part of my statements.
It was a 3 part story and I was right on 2 parts of it, but if you feel that I owe you the apology I promised, just let me know and I'll do as I said.
